Reviews:

Moonbeam Spirit Award (Gold)

Learning Magazine Teachers' Choice Award for the Family

This book is written in a witty, easy to read format with lots of great illustrations and charts to help kids learn. The book is the perfect first step to tackling bedwetting, as it gives kids many practical solutions they can try. If your child is looking to take control of their wetting, but maybe you aren't quite ready to take the plunge and get an alarm, this book provides the first steps to dryness.
—Bedwetting Store

The book puts [bedwetting] in context: "five million kids in the United States…go to bed…not knowing if they will wake up wet or dry." What follows is a clear plan ably complemented by Gerrell's superb cartoon illustrations of Max and Billy on the case as they investigate the digestive system, how a bladder works and ways to better signal the brain to get up and go. At the back of the book there is extra information about pooping and its impact on bedwetting, a word search about proper foods to eat and a "Q&A About Bedwetting (Just for Parents!)" Even if there were not an alarming dearth of titles on this subject aimed at kids, this would stand out as a most thorough, highly readable resource.
